Zoom works on RC3.1. What version are you on ?
[Captivate Android Development] jwkicklighter:
It is easier to take apart than you might think. My power button was being touchy, so I took the board out, swabbed it with alcohol, let it dry, and put it back together. Total time was about 10 minutes.

Question about installation.

Does the RC3.01 install bootloaders. Im currently on GB bootloaders, just making sure. And is nandroid backup/restore functional for ICS. Finally what CWM will work to flash this. Thanks alot guys..
[Captivate Android Development] weaktight:
SGH-i896 running Cyanogenmod 7.1 on CWM v5.0.2.6

Flashing RC3.1 Captivate ROM via CWM recovery I get the Status 7 error - product device mismatch.

What's the easiest way to get around this? Someone suggested updating the kernel first? (How do I do that...)

thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
So I just flashed RC3.1 and noticed at start up it is using Platypus Kernel. Is this better than Nush 3189. I'm guessing so since the Dev's included in the release ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Wops pressed wrong button. Nushor's 3189 wont have video recording.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I'm not sure if 897 is same as 896 but I followed below procedure.

1. Install Nushor's kernel from ics.darkirc.me

2. Reboot into recovery.

3. Install 3.1

4. wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and install 3.1 again.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Updated to RC3.1 and have zoom function now but what I don't have is the settings option to store photos on the external sd. Should I be able to or is the ICS' camera not set up to have that option from the start.

Amazon App Store app

Hi.

I updated from 2.11 with datafix which gave me real bad lag.

So far, I have to say that I am impressed. Awesome job guys.

Very smooth.

I did a full wipe and cache and Dalvik.

I am very happy with this build.

One question though.

Is anyone experiencing issues logging into Amazon Appstore?

I did not have issues with the previous build (my wife's oddly had this problem on 2.11 also) but with this new version, I am unable to get the app to accept my login info and password.

For now, I used the TiBu backups to restore the apps from Amazon.

Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
If you had lag you can always revert back to no data fix, I updated the script to do that. AND the information for the data fix explains why you will lag and why the rom is set up the way it is.

anyone having issue with auto brightness? I'm on 3.1

[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Works for me been on from for a few days just needed crappy kernel to resolve a few minor bugs but auto brightness has always worked
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
I tried flashing 3.1 over 2.11 after a wipe/dalvik/cache with no luck. I was on nushors 3189 kernal and after I flashed 3.1 I could see the new kernal screen but after that everything just went black and the phone wouldn't boot up.

I then flashed nurshors 3189 kernal with 3.1 and the phone booted. Where can I find the platapus kernal?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Zoom works;on camera and camcorder for me fun panel settings on camcorder still only tying crashing
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
3.1 zip have required kernel built in. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
Yes, I knew this. I'm downloading the ROM again, maybe something happened during download.

I got 3.1 to work with Nurshor's 3189 kernal but don't know how compatible that is with 3.1, but it seems to be running OK.

Stupid question: does home key work as power button in 3.1 recovery?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate running Apex 9.3 with Blue Mod and the almighty Corn Kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
3.1 is great all my buttons work, its a lot smoother, and a lot more effiecent on the os battery use.

even though the os is still sucking up more power then it should

[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Look guys I'm really trying not to be a pain but I tried to download the sensor fix and I keep getting a 404 but everything else on the page works :( can anybody post it?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with ICS and a broken power button.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
I would suggest you start from top and start over. I ran into all the issues you mentioned but I don't have them any more. Power button, wasn't responding, but it's fine now. Sensors wasn't working, but now it works (after I applied the sensor fix). Maybe yours is a hardware issue, but it's worth a try.

There are always two places to check for downloads-

Http://ics.samsung-updates.com, and the Google code project page for sgs ics. Both places have the sensor fix zip files last time I checked. I also remember seeing onecosmic tweet that to fix the sensors, one just need to copy some files from one dir to another. Don't have the time to dig it up right now, though. Sorry.

edit: found onecosmic tweet regarding sensors, dated Jan 12th:

Guys, for whoever is having sensors problems, just move the file sensors.aries.so from /vendor/lib/hw to /system/lib/hw and reboot

Auto screen rotate not working on 3.1 For home screens(at least for me)

All my programs will auto rotate but none of the 5 home screens do. Anyone else got this ? Our is it not supposed to any how?

I've tried reflashing, restoring and button is just screwed lol...tried to get into download with 17 diff methods...no good...terminal emulator I typed in reboot download n it took me to recovery....restoring brought phone back to life just no power button although widget locker in addition to screen off utils render phone usable....how exactly did u get power button back?

ics.samsung-updates.com is not related to this rom. Although it should work, nothing posted there is related to this rom.

Are you using Nova launcher? That's a setting under behavior.

[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
That website is the site that was used while the Google code page was down, so yahh it is for this ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No it isn't. Btw there is no sensor fix in Google code.

[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Just curious, what boot loaders do you have? Reason I ask is I have i9000 bl forever now and I was even able to flash R3plus days ago just had some functions not work but was still a daily reliable rom one other thing if you have scripts from other roms you may have serious corruption issues , when I first flashed ics I forgot to get rid of a pickachu tweak script and wound up having to reformat the sd card since then I have had no real issues
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
YES IT IS!
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I'm having the same problem, but reflashing nurshors 3189 kernal after flashing the rom didn't help. I still get a black screen after the kernal screen, buttons light up when touched. I've tried wiping and flashing numerous times and in different orders with the same outcome.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
try Odin one click back to stock, and then work your way to rc3. I had to do it once during one if my many flashes. if your power button is working in stock or other gb roms, then it's a software issue, otherwise it is a hardware one.
[Captivate Android Development] cppc:
Wow, this version is smooth. And it is the 1st time my Auto Brightness works, since I flash ICS.

However, my T9 search on Phone is missing. It works on 2.1 before. Or is there anything I should do?
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
Not sure if it makes a difference, but I used rc3 stock plus, instead of rc3.1. Give it a shot after you factory reset and wipe dalvik and cache.

In addition, You can also try onecosmic's rc3.1 kernel he posted in the kernel page.

From prior experience, you might also need to reformat /boot prior to reflashing in order to get it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] aaa710:
would work your way mean - stock>ics kernel (eg 3180)>3.1

Or stock>rc1.0.1>rc2.11>3.1

The reason I ask is I used the top approach but had unknown basebamd and imei unknown.....had to flash the jvt modem to fix that.

And just now had a reboot into recovery when the screen was on but I wasn't doing anything.

Any suggestions?

Meant 3.1
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Bro just because its being hosted by someone else on another site doesn't mean that site has anything to do with the team that works with this AOSP. My point is just cause its posted there it doesn't mean it will work. That's the last I'm posting about that subject.

[Captivate Android Development] infinitefame:
How is the battery life? Has it improved over 2.1? I found 2.1 to be less than the gingerbread rom I was on before, but maybe that's just me.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
FML -_- IDK why a person wouldn't believe me, since I am right, know my facts. If you remember they had problems with Google code. So they used that and still are. If you don't believe me, then ask around on the IRC... I am done trying to help people. Figure it out...
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
Can't really say without giving it a few charge/discharge cycles, however it seems to be in line with 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] aaa710:
Oops....just had a autodown....there seems to be something.....

Appreciate any help here.....coz want to stick to this rom ... its brilliant
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
You're gonna have to give more info about your setup....
[Captivate Android Development] :
Dude, b-eock is right. I remember when I first downloaded this rom, the OP linked me to that site, it is a backup site.
[Captivate Android Development] weaktight:
Thanks. That worked.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
If memory serves me correctly, there should be a one click package somewhere in the thread that will let you go back to stock gb but with a kernel that has cwm. Then from there you can go straight to rc3 stock plus via cwm.

Unknown baseband usually means /efs is messed up and flashing modems alone won't solve it so not sure if that's truly what you had. I had to restore my /efs from my backup in order to fix that.

Spontaneous reboots usually means something is up with oc/uc and since default kernel for rc3 does do oc/uc, I'd check there first.
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
its i897 i don't know if i can install the i9000 bootloaders on it.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
RC3 stock Plus isn't this rom. Thats Grooby's Kang (his xda thread got deleted in i9000 section)

You should be able to, but I don't see the need. Im using i897 bl just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] adwhite:
I just installed ICS_Captivate_20120108_r3189v_update.zip and hasn't rebooted/responded in like 10-15 min. How long should this take, getting slightly worried. I've flashed numerous ROM's but never a kernal.
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
battery life suck with this rc might go back to rc 2 n no wiping my battery stats wont do the trick it is a myth!! might try a battery saver n see if that works

and why do google maps still keep running in the background?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Couse google maps always does that. I can't comment on battery life since I've been flashing so much and had so bad service at where I was staying. But I can say Phone gave me with ~ medium usage 12 hours and still got 25% left. After it discharges Ill recalibrate and report.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Running into a weird issue here. I flashed back to stock via odin so that I could get a clean install. I flashed nushor's 3180, then 3.1, wiped cache, dalvik, factory reset and re-installed 3.1 again.

My phone now only boots into recovery mode. I've tried installing 2.11 and I get the same thing. Flashing back to stock with Odin seems to work just fine though.

Thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
it is weird cause gingerbread and down that app do not stay on! crap happens lol
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
I'm not seeing the kernels on his page. Can you drop a link for me please.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
There isn't any other RC3.1 kernel for i897. Don't know how compatible i9000 kernels are, but you could use RC2.x kernels but your camera will probably not work properly.
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
N

Is there a kernel floating around that isn't packaged with 3.1 that can be flashed in recovery?

I'm currently running 3189 with 3.1 and all is well except for video. Unfortunately I need video for work....

Edit: Found the kernel, flashed it and video recording fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You can try flashign the new RC3.1 with out factory reset. Or break the package and take out the kernel components and make a cwm zip?
[Captivate Android Development] energyracing:
That was the easiest Flash of my life. Install zip, reboot. The end. No restoring apps, no restoring home screen configuration, nada. All there on the boot.

Also, display (colors, contrast) looks beautiful with this kernel, so no need for color tuning (it is unavailable in Galaxy S Settings).

And anyone who didn't know that you could adjust the soft key backlight settings in Galaxy S Settings (like me until 5 minutes ago), you can. Turn it to "Never", and they'll stay lit while the screen is on.

Great work.

EDIT: Can anyone confirm the information in "About Phone" with RC3.1? This is what I have on my Captivate (I897):

Model Number: GT-I9000 (<---Is that normal for a Cappy?)

Android Version: 4.0.3

Baseband: I9000UGKG3

Kernel: 3.0.8-NEO-3.0-257113-g0d88b64-dirty

NEO_3.0.8_a6 #28

Build: full_aries-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K eng.root.20120104.223924 test-keys (<---I noticed the date code 2012 01 04 and it made me wonder whether my phone correctly flashed RC3.1)
[Captivate Android Development] eppyramot:
I second that, i can't remember ever installing a new rom where i ultimately did not have to do a full wipe (out of habit i wiped cache and dalvik before flashing, but that keeps all settings apps and launcher config). Everything appears to be working beautifully, and I agree the contrast/colors look great. Thanks to the Devs.
[Captivate Android Development] drewbag:
Hi,

I just flashed RC 3.1 a half hour ago and everything seems to be running great. Once again, excellent work developers.
[Captivate Android Development] Grey Ghost:
Just a little update to my "status 7" issue, I was able to work around it by flashing 2.11 then flashing up to the latest 3.1 smooth as silk now. hope this helps anyone who's getting this issue.

[Captivate Android Development] Cholera:
Yeah!

Just falshed it and works perfect!

I do have nearly the same here, only my baseband is different:

Baseband: I9000UGJK4

?

Had the lvl7 eror while flashing and had to flash the "http://ics.darkirc.me/" kernel in between...
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Which kernel did you find?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with ICS and a broken power button.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
That's normal and nothing big to change. The build.prop file came from the i9000 and was not modified to show i897. The file is located in /system. It should not affect how your phone works.
[Captivate Android Development] aaa710:
I had similar issue when I tried to flash 3.1 over stock gb KH3 (with cwm) - it kept going into receovery....I put in R1 (1.0.1) and then flashed nushor's 3180 and then flashed 3.1 - that helped.

So, is flashing over stock a complete NO NO?

But I have had one auto reboot to recovery and a auto shutdown....hence there seems to be something missing...or is it some oc/uv thing...which Daveshih mentioned

Any suggestions....
[Captivate Android Development] cllinna:
I noticed last night and this morning that my phone is now auto rebooting into recovery too. also, sometimes mylockscreen freezes and flashes a negative image. Just thought i would mention.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I think you have to do a complete wipe to stop the reboots. The framework of 3.1 does not seem compatible with 2.11. After I did that, I no longer get those reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
I flashed RC3.1 yesterday gad a few problems like error7 and a few others.so i flashed nushor's 3180 kernel and have not had one problem.just wanted to report that incase it helps anyone.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
The only bad thing about doing that is that you will lose voodoo color and overclocking though nstools.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
And you loose video recording
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
finally got a chance to flash 3.1 last night. Flashed directly over 2.11 (nushor 3180) with no problems that I've seen. Everything seems to be working (except for compass). Super!
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I have reported that auto-brightness was not working with RC3.1 but looks like its working.

Auto-brightness is not as intensive as other alpha, beta, rc(s) but it is gradually increasing the brightness. And also I feel like it is so pleasant even under light....

Great work devs...
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I'm trying to flasch 3.1 over the last build (think it was 2.1.1 or something). In recovery, it starts the process and then spits out a bunch of text that ends in installation aborted. There is some info there about i9000 and build prop.

I've downloaded the file twice with same result.

The only thing I was running different was the Glitch kernel. That combo - 2.1.1 and Glitch - is the best my phone has ever run on any ROM since I've owned it. I was actually kind of hesitant to even upgrade.

(and yes - I searched the forum first before posting. )
[Captivate Android Development] rfound:
Everything working well. Came from 2.11 with 3189 kernel. Did a factory reset/wipe data, flashed, re-wiped and flashed again. (Just my paranoid process for making sure its all good).

Booted up and is smooth as silk. Best ever for this phone.

Thank you all for the hard work. I cannot find anything that isn't working.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I suggest you to flash Nushor kernel first from ics.darkirc.me and then 3.1

Hope it works. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
Flashed 3.1 over 2.1 with Nushor 3080 or 3089 (can't remember now which I was using) and everything seems to be working just fine. No wiping anything. Looking forward to using touch to focus in the camera :)

Thanks again devs :)
[Captivate Android Development] TayzGpa:
I897 Captivate.

Had 2.11 (with Nushors 3189 kernal).

Wiped Cache, Delvik, factory reset.

Updated to 3.1. (excellent job!)

Everything seems to be running smooth with the following exceptions:

1. Compass does not work (had same prob in 2.11)

2. Lock screen freezes (from sleep) with negative image. Pressing the power button twice returns functionallity.

3. Automatic Time Zone does not work. Thinks I am in Mountain time. Should be Central time. Can over ride by manuall setting time zone in Settings.

Otherwise, as far as I have tested, everything works great. :D

Running whatever launcher is built into this rom. Not a big deal due to infrequent use but was just wandering

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Mine does this occasionally but doesn't bother me. However, I also have no Voodoo Control App in this rom. Would it be the same one I used in my GB rom. If so I can just TiBu restore it.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Then don't know. I use Nova and rotation works.

Just use the one from market. I use the paid, but free works just as well. Most of GB apps work on ICS. Not counting system apps.
